Finding ecohappiness can decrease boys' anxiety levels and increase family harmony.  There's a strong -- and direct -- link between time in nature and mental health. Human beings require nature exposure for optimal physical and mental health. Of course, that's easier to say than to achieve in modern life, when many of us live in urban environments and use screens to work, learn, and socialize. But there are fun ways to integrate nature exposure with daily life, says Sandi Schwartz, founder of the Ecohappiness Project and author of Finding Ecohappiness: Fun Nature Activities to Help Your Kids Feel Happier and Calmer.  "A huge study came out a couple years ago that said, all you really need is 120 minutes a week connecting to nature. So that's about 20 minutes a day," Sandi says. "You an build a nature habit by looking at your family's routine and tweaking it. Can you walk somewhere for an errand? Eat outside? Do homework or an art project outside?" Such slight changes can make a big difference in boys' (and parents'!) moods and functioning. Research also shows that nature stimulates human creativity, productivity,  and curiosity.

Take a breath of fresh air and see just how profound the natural world is. We all have an intrinsic understanding that laughter makes us happy and an innate feeling that being in nature is good to reduce stress - these are all truths that are backed up by science, and everybody, especially kids, need laughter, nature, and mindfulness. Nature is worth protecting, being in nature or near it makes us happier, makes us feel less stressed and feel generally better. We have a deep, existential relationship with nature and our lives will be better spent in it and worse without it. "We all benefit from laughter, mindfulness, and nature in the same ways." —  Sandi Schwartz Connect with Sandi Schwartz:Website:  https://www.sandischwartz.com/  Books: https://www.amazon.com/Sandi-Schwartz/e/B099GQ97W3%3FLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandischwartz-environmentwellnesswriter/   Connect With Adam Weber:Website: https://meditationnotmedicine.com/about/Email: adam@meditationnotmedicine.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/easytomeditate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meditationnotmedicine/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPnbji9rDrCfxhY0W8sHL9ABook: Meditation Not Medicine Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla.Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

We parents often bemoan the amount of time our kids spend on screens of one sort or another, even as we know those electronic devices also have benefits – and, no doubt, are here to stay. But balance is important for people of all ages, and what better way to find balance than by getting out into nature? A wealth of research highlights the benefits of outdoor experience for physical health, focus, creativity, problem-solving and mental health, much thanks to the stress-reducing effects of being in nature. If we and our children learn to know and love nature, we also are more likely to become good stewards of the environment. We care for what we love!   With those benefits in mind, this week's guest, Sandi Schwartz, has written a practical, inspiring book that is loaded with ways to get the whole family outdoors.

What ways could you use those interests to help them outdoors and connected to nature? If your children are very young (infants to three or four), how could you take some of their usual activities outdoors as a way of helping them get hooked on nature before they get hooked on screens?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT FINDING BALANCE AND FUN IN NATURE? ❉ ECOHAPPINESS PROJECT & FINDING ECOHAPPINESS BOOK.

From the beginning of mankind, we were connected to nature. It fed us, it sheltered us, and it made us feel good. It was also a source of danger and fears as well, but we all enjoy going out to nature and research after research have shown the mental and physical benefits of going out even for 20 minutes.However, now during the COVID-19 lockdowns, it's hard – and sometimes impossible – to go out and relax in the sun or the woods. But we can still enjoy nature in many ways. This is the topic of this episode in which I talk with writer Sandi Schwartz.Sandi is the writer behind the blog Happy Science Mom. She also published hundreds of articles in outlets such as Motherly, Scary Mommy, and more, and recently her blog was listed in Feedspot's list of Top 100 Mom Blogs Every Mommy Must Read in 2020.

Sandi Schwartz with The Gottman Institute shares how a parent's affection shapes a child's happiness for life.

"Some highly sensitive children are fairly difficult–active, emotionally intense, demanding, and persistent–while others are calm, turned inward, and almost too easy to raise except when they are expected to join a group of children they do not know. But outspoken and fussy or reserved and obedient, all HSCs are sensitive to their emotional and physical environment” -Dr. Elaine Aron. If you are a parent of an HSC, or you were an HSC, you are well aware of the gifts and challenges associated with the trait of sensitivity. On this episode of HSP SOS, Michelle and The Captain talk with fellow HSP Melissa Schwartz. Melissa is a coach for parents of highly sensitive children, author, speaker, and co-creator of Leading Edge Parenting, not to mention just an enthusiastic advocate for HSPs internationally.

This Saturday, March 12th; we will have the lovely Melissa Schwartz and her mother, Sandi Schwartz, both of the website www.LeadingEdgeParenting.com. Sandi was an expert in child development who thought she was well-prepared to be a parent. Her first child was easygoing and a dream to raise. When Melissa arrived, however, with her intensity, sensitivity, and power-seeking soul, both mother and daughter had to re-align and re-configure. Melissa and Sandi will share the journey that turned Leading Edge Parenting into more than a website and a practice that assisted parents; it became an entity that allowed even challenging children to find their voice and claim it.
